Six month after it opened, surveillance cameras have caught deer, elk, moose and the occasional predator walking along the new $5 million Parleys Summit wildlife overpass — good news for both the animals and drivers on Interstate 80.
“It just makes everybody feel great that it’s getting used,” said Scott Root, the central region outreach manager for the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources.
DWR posted a 36-second video with clips of animals using the overpass near exit 140, which opened in December and is designed to keep wildlife away from cars and trucks speeding across the summit of Parleys Canyon.
